Baal, s. Baal, Apollo, the Sun. Baal, Beel, Bel, or Bol, a king of the Assyrians, son of Nimrod, and father of Ninus, was the first who applied himself to the study of astronomy, and being deified by his subjects, was the first Apotheosis, and hence called Baal, Dominus and Baal Sauin, Dominus cæli. Diod. Sic. l, 3. Thus the Assyrian or Phenician Baal, and the Apollo of the Greeks appear to be the same, and to mean the Sun; for the word Grian, the Celtic for Sun, is the Grynœus Apollo: and as the different Planets were held by the Greeks and Romans, according to Cicero, to be the gods whose names they bear, so the Sun under the different appellations above-mentioned, was the God of the Assyrians, Phenicians, Samaritans, and Carthaginians, as well as of the Irish, Erse, Manks, and all the Celtic Tribes. Among the Greeks and Romans, however, Apollo was only a secondary deity; among the Celts Baal or the Sun was the great and perhaps their only God; while the Moon, the Queen of Heaven, under the name of Ashtaroth, or Astarte, was their only Goddess. Judg. x. 6. (Ir. Bal, Bel, Beel, Beal; lat. Apollo.)
Baalan, s. the plant ————(?) a fillet, a chaplet. This plant is gathered on Midsummer-eve, and made into chaplets, or circles, which are worn on the head of man and beast, to preserve them against witchcraft and evil. The word is literally Baal’s chaplet, from an the circle or ring, and Baal of Baal; in commemoration of Baal or the Sun, the god of the Celts, having completed his circle or course. When I say in commemoration of Baal, I do not mean to say that the people have any traditional memory of Baal, or consciousness of celebrating, in this and the preceding articles, any religious ceremony to him. These acts arise from immemorial usage, without any knowledge of their origin annexed to them; but the most ancient Irish historians, and many learned Celtic scholars, believe and maintain that the ceremonies alluded to are the remains of the heathen worship paid by the Druids and the Celtic nations to their god Baal. Ir. mallan, or malan; W. banal, broom.
Baalan-feail-oin, s. the chaplet made of the plant ——(?) and worn on the eve of St. John the Baptist. The literal etymology of the word is, An a chaplet, Baal of Baal, feailley on the feast Eoin of John. [Bollan-y-feail-oin, which the inhabitants gather and keep in their houses on account of its medicinal properties.—Ed.]
Baal-sauin, s. the name of Baal; and signifies Lord of Heaven or the Sun. The first day of November was dedicated to his worship, and is called Laa-Souiney, and the Season or Month yn Tauyn; because anciently the first day of November was the first day of the year: and the Mummers on the eve of All-Saints’ Day still begin their petition with these remarkable words, “To-night is New Year’s night. Og-u-naa. The Moon shines fair and bright. Tro-la-la.” On this night, in the words of Jeremiah, “the women knead their dough to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven,” which is the Moon alluded to in the Mummer’s petition, called in Scripture, Ashtaroth: “They served Baalim and Ashtaroth.” Much ceremony is observed in making this cake, which is sacred to love, (for the Syrian Astarte is supposed to be the Greek Venus,) and is called the “soddag valloo” or dumb cake. Every woman is obliged to assist in mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough and baking the cake on glowing embers; and when sufficiently baked they divide it, eat it up, and retire to their beds backwards without speaking a word, from which silence the cake derives its name, and in the course of the night expect to see the images of the men who are destined to be their husbands. This eve is called “oie houiney.”
Baaltinn, Baaltinn laa, s. May-day, or the day of Baal’s fire, or of the Sun, from tinn celestial fire, and Baal the god Baal, or the Sun. On this day [the eve of this day.—Ed.] the inhabitants kindle fires on the summits of the highest hills, in continuation of the practice of the Druids, who made the cattle, and probably “the children, to pass through the fire,” using certain ceremonies to expiate the sins of the people; but the modern practice is, for each balla or town to kindle a fire, so that the wind may drive the smoke over their corn fields, cattle and habitations. Which custom, independent of the religious use, might have a temporal benefit also in view, by killing the insects which infest the trees and corn at that season. It is also the usage to put out the culinary fires on that day, and to rekindle them with some of the sacred fire. On this day, likewise, the young people of different districts form themselves into two parties, called the Summer and the Winter (Sourey as Geurey), and having appointed a place of meeting, a mock engagement takes place, when the winter party gradually recedes before the summer, and at last quits the field. There is an appropriate song, the burden of which is, Hug eh my fainey; sourey lhien, &c. [‘‘He gave my ring; summer with us,” &c. I can make no sense of this.—Ed.] On this day, and also on Laa Souney (the first of November), malefactors were punished with death by fire, and human sacrifices were offered to Baal; which, however, both at Carthage and in Ireland, according to the ancient historians, were laid aside, and the sacrifice of beasts substituted in their stead. Val. Gr. 124. On May-eve, the inhabitants dress their houses with flowers, and before every door a considerable space is strewed with primroses; and crosses are made of mountain-ash (caorin), which are fastened to their cattle and worn by themselves as preservatives against witchcraft. On this eve also the damsel places a snail between two pewter dishes, and expects to find next morning the name of her future husband in visible characters on the dish; but the success of this depends on her watching until midnight, and having first purified her hands and face by washing them in the dew of wheat.
Baaltinn, pronounced Boltinn,
the name of a district in the Parish of Kirk Braddan. It consists of a
projection of the mountain Carraghan, the sides whereof are inclosed by two
rivers, which meet lit a place called the Aah-mod or
Dogs’-ford. [2. Qu, now Ballamoddey? Ed.] This
river is afterwards called White river, and falls into another called the Black
river; below the junction of which is the town of Douglass, deriving its name
front the union of the Doo (black) and the Glass (grey)
rivers. In the centre of Baaltinn is a small village called Aal-caer or Baal’s
town. Adjoining to Aal-caer are the ruins of an old Temple, called Kil Ammon (Cella
Ammonis). [About 18 X 12 feet. On the site of these ruins the Chapel of St.
Luke was built, a.D.
1836. Ed.] Near to this was an
ancient Tynwald or Tinn-Vaal, i.e., the altar or fire
of Baal, where all new Laws were promulged, and the seats of the 24 Keys or
Parliament of the Island are still pointed out. Here was a pillar with an
inscription, as I have been often told, but it was carried off and broken to
mend a neighbouring stone wall. This Tinn Vaal was coeval with another on
Cronc-urley, in the north side of the Island; as at that time the Island was
under two Governments, and the distinctions of North-side and South-side still
remain. But when Man came to be under one Government, the present Tinn Vaal, or
Tennual, or Tynwald, as being more central, was erected, and the Chapel
(dedicated to St. John the Baptist, on whose festival the Tinn-Vaal is annually
held), was appropriated to the religious services which the meetings at
Tinn-vaal might require. A fair was, however, held at the old Tinn-Vaal in
Baal-tinn, until lately. There is an opinion in this part of the country that
the church commonly called Kil Ammon should be named Kil Abban, or the Abbott’s
Church; and that it was either built, at the introduction of Christianity into
the Island, on the ruins of Baal’s temple, or that the Pagan Kil Ammon was then
converted into the Christian Kil Abban. It is certain, however, that at a very
early period the village of Aalcaer received the name of Balla Chreest,
Christ’s town; but has not retained it in use, tho’ it is so called in the
Records. The high-road to Kil Ammon is called the Raad Jiarg (red road). About
a mile to the south of this Tinn Vaal is Balla-vriw, the Judge’s Town, which,
as well as part of Aalcaer, is the property of the family of Kelly, [the Rev.
Doctor’s family.—Ed.] who most probably
were Judges or Druids of that religious and judicial institution.
The adjoining town or balla is called Baal-ny-moddey, the town of
Dogs; and higher up the valley another town is called Aah
Whuallian or the whelp’s ford. I mention these names, as the modern
believers in the God Belus are of opinion that these dogs in their respective
stations were the guards of the sacred Tinn-vaal, Baal-tinn, or fire of Baal.
On St. Stephen’s day the inhabitants of this district assemble to hunt the
little Wren, which, when caught and killed, they fasten to the top of a long
pole and carry about in procession, with drums beating, and colours flying, and
distribute for money the feathers of the bird, which are esteemed by the
purchasers to be a charm against all evils for the ensuing year. So far is
common with the practice of other parts of the Island; but in Baal-tinn the
body of the naked Wren is deposited with much solemnity in Kil Ammon, and the
evening concludes with a variety of games on the open ground which adjoins.
While some think this to be an emblem of the change from human sacrifices to
those of beasts in the offerings of Baal, others think, with apparently more
reason, that it is a superstitious memorial of the death of the saint. It may
be right in this place to explain the reason why Baal-tinn and Tinn Vaal are
supposed to be the same word, and to mean the same thing. Bealtuinne is of Irish
origin, and Tinn-vaal of Manks, as being peculiar to the Isle of Man;
for whenever or generally when two substantives are put in apposition, the
Irish place that word first, which the Manks put last, as Irish ailtcheangal
is in Manks kiangley-olt, buidhemhios is meevuigh, July, lhong-phort, a harbour, purt-lhong or lhuingys. Ir. saix-vheurla, baarl-sausinagh.
M’Cuirtin also, author of the Irish Dictionary explains Bealtuinne by Teinne
Bheil, and by Teinne Bheluis. But should Tinn veal and Baal tinn be the
same, and both signify Baal’s altar and fire, and the court where new laws were
promulged, there will be a difficulty in accounting for the Icelandic, “Althing, or common
court of justice, which is kept every year on the 8th of July, at Thing-Valla.”
* For though the Icelandic names and their uses resemble those of the Celtic;
yet we cannot think them of Celtic origin. Here, then, is a field of curious
inquiry for the learned antiquarian. (Ir. Bealtuinne; lat.
Appollinis ignis, for teinn or teinney fire, is eign or eigney without the t, which is added because of
the word beginning with a vowel; therefore ignis is of the
same Celtic origin.)

Baillym, I wish, I desire, oh that I might or could; bailt, thou; baillish, he; pl. baillhien, bailliu, baillad.

fire, ether, pure elementary fire, not that culinary fire which we call AILE, or that

ancestors worshipped, not ultimately or for itself, but relatively to the
SUPREME BEING, for they supposed GOD to be present in the fire; though the
practice of men might, in length of time, degenerate from the original
institution and rest in the object of sense, and, like Cain, introduce the
worship of the sun, as the best resemblance he could find of the glory of the
Lord, who was wont to appear in a flaming light. A notion of something divine
in fire prevailed in the most distant times and places, even among the Chinese,
who make TIEN, ether or heaven, the sovereign cause of all things, and adore it
under the name of Tien. The Greeks and all the Eastern nations consider the sun
as the spirit of the world. The Romans had their Vesta, the Egyptians their Vulcan, and our Celtic
grandsires their Baal or Bel-çhin or Tien. (Cor. Arm. and W. tân, anciently Ir. teine.) =AER, s.

GAELC-ERINAGH,
the Irish Gaelic or Erse. (Ir. Galig-Erinnach.)
The etymology of this word Gaelc, or of Gael, a Gaul,
(English) is very uncertain; some deriving it from Gadelas, the Iberian
invader of Ireland (Gaodhal Glas); others from Gaodhla, Gaodin,
Gaothin; others from Gallus, an appellation given by the Babylonians to Noe or
Ninus, when he was saved from the flood; for gal signified a wave; also from the Greek gala, (milk) because of their fair and milky complexion;
and in M. and Ir. gial and geal signify white and fair. Thus also the Galati, Galatians,
who
were a tribe of Gauls, may have received their name. But the learned Pezron has
proved the Celts to have taken the name of Gallu, i.e.,
conquerors,
from the time of their emigration from Media into Cappadocia. This word Gallu is still
preserved in the British Celtic, and signifies power. This people, according to
different writers, are called Gueltæ, Keltæ,
Guelgæ, Belgæ, Guelque, Guelc, Gaelc, Gelc.
GAELCK, s. gen. GAILGEY. The language spoken by the inhabitants of the Isle of Man, and called Manks, Mankish, or Manx. It is radically the same as the Irish or as the Erse or Gaelic, which is spoken in the Highlands of Scotland. As this point is sometimes doubted, and it is frequently denied that the Highland language or Erse, which is a corruption of the word Irish, and the Irish Gaelic are the same, I shall mention the following fact. When the Rev. Philip Moore and myself were engaged in preparing the Manks translation of the Holy Scriptures for the press, the Rev. — Mc. Laggan, chaplain to his Majesty’s 42nd Regiment of Highlanders, frequently visited us and often assisted us in the recovery or the application of obsolete words, and assured us that he made use of no other Bible in his regiment but the Irish Bible, which had been published by Bishop Bedell, from whence I conclude that these three languages are the same, though I must observe that the Manks tongue is more corrupt than theirs, having a mixture of Danish and English words, in consequence of this island having been so long under the government of Norway; and also of Greek and Latin words, from the island being for many ages the seat of learning, where the royal family of Scotland regularly received their education, particularly while it was under the dominion of that kingdom. But, while I think these languages to be the same, I must declare that I can find no resemblance between the Welsh and the Manks, and I can hardly believe that the Erse is a dialect of that language, but that they are originally different. It is certain that there is a great resemblance in the inflection by a change of the initials, which is a strong presumption of their being branches of one original stock. There are also many words alike in both; but then those words can be proved to have been borrowed from, or used by, some third people; as the word, tarroo, a bull; Irish, tarbh; W., tarw; from the Lat., taurus. Iurin, hell; Ir. ifrionn; W., uffern; from the Lat., infernus. And, indeed, all the terms or words which are employed upon religious subjects are borrowed from the language of the propagators of the Christian religion: and so are all the terms of art: though I know several gentlemen who, from a zeal for the antiquity and purity of their Gaelic, suppose from this circumstance, that there is a vulgar tongue, and a learned language; forgetting, or ignorant, that all these holy words may be resolved into the Latin, Greek, Italian, or French languages, according to the country of the first preacher that introduced into the language such particular words—as the word padjer, a prayer, from Pater noster; which became a term for prayer in general; Agglish, or rather eccles, from the Lat., ecclesia, instead of the vulgar word keeil, a church; Spyrryd Noo, the Holy Ghost, from the Lat, Spiritus, and Gr., Noos, Sanctus, instead of the common word, casherick; Sermane or sharmane, from sermo, instead of the vulgar expression, taggloo; Ooashley or ooasley-Jee, the worship of God, from the English worship, and Lat. dei; Saccert or saggart, from sacerdos, Maistyr, master, from magister; with innumerable others, which are unnecessary to be cited in this place.

KIARE-AS-FEED, The keys or parliament of the Island are so called from their number, as they consist of twenty-four persons. But as it is used as a proper name in conversation, it has, therefore, the article prefixed; as yn-chiare-as-feed. This is supposed by the ingenious Rev. Wm. Fitzsimmons, to be a corruption of cor-an-phaid, the company of the prophets, wisemen, or rulers; for no doubt that cor is choir or company, and phaid or phadeyrys, prophecy. The government of the Island consisted of two parts, the executive and the legislative. The king was vested with the whole executive power, and had the sole appointment of his own officers and council; the power of making and repealing laws, rested with the keys, who were obliged, in conjunction with the other power, to call annually a Tynwald or meeting of the people, where all new laws were publicly proclaimed three times, otherwise they were of no force, and a man could plead in court the ignorantia legis. I could never find whether the people had any other negative upon the promulgation of an unpopular law, except force, to which, according to several traditional accounts, they were frequently obliged to have recourse, and were always successful in the application of it. This is not to be wondered at, as the keys were self-elected, and when a member died they chose two men out of the body of the people, and presented them to the king for his approbation of one of them. And, besides, they as well as the court were exempt from most of the duties and taxes the people laboured under, and together exercised an arbitrary power; as an instance of which I shall only mention, that whenever any of them wanted servants, they had a right to yard, that is, to compel by virtue of a statute or slattys, and force into their service the best servants in the Island, wherever they were to be found, and without allowing them common wages. Yet, notwithstanding this connection between the parliament and the court, it has been found that when the court has attempted any innovation, the keys have uniformly joined the people. When the Earl of Derby endeavoured to remove the people from their possessions, and to consider the soil as his property, the people and keys united, and at last obtained from, the Insular Legislature the Act of Settlement, A.D., 1704; which confirmed every man in the possession of his estate, and made his possession his property. Notwithstanding the Island is annexed at present to the Crown of England, the laws and manner of government continue with little variation, except that the Governor, who is appointed by the Crown of England, acts, in most instances, in the place of the former Kings of Mann. It appears both from history and tradition, that at first the kiare-as-feed were chosen by popular election from each of the six sheadings; but that afterwards, on the death of one of the body, they presented two commoners to the king, and he was obliged to elect one of the two.

MANNAN, s. pl. yn. a kid. (W. & Ar. myn; Cor. and G. meann.)
MANNANAN MAC Y LEAR, the name given by English historians to a sorcerer who reigned in Man, and by his power prevented all passengers from seeing it, by raising a mist to conceal it from their view. This is partly false and partly true; for that Mannanan governed or resided there is true; as the word Mannanan, or Mannana, or Mannanagh, means no more than that the inhabitants of the place were called Mannanee, as they are to this day, i.e., Manksmen or Mankishmen. It is true also that mists are so frequent, that ships approaching the Island may very easily be supposed, without much sorcery, to lose sight of it and miss it. But on the other hand, Mac y lear, or leear or leah, signifying the Son of the Seer, he must be a sorcerer himself. Yet as leah or lear is also the twilight when mists prevail most, a Manksman may very properly be called Mannana mac y leah, the Son of the Mist, or Son of the Twilight. Or as lear is moreover the sea, he may be said to be the Son of the Sea.
MANNINAGH, MANNANAGH, s. pl. ee. a Manksman or woman. (Manks, i.e., Mankish.) This patronimic Manninagh seems to destroy McPherson’s etymology. According to him, the name of a Manksman would be Meanagh, which would be either the middle man or the Monkish man, (as Balley-meanagh is Abbot’s Land.) But this is answered by writing Meaninagh or mayninagh, the middle Islandman, or the Monkish Islandman. Yet use the word ellan, an island, and you do not say, yn ellan veanagh or veaninagh, the middle island; but yn Ellan Manin, the Island Man-isle, or Ellan Vanin, the Island of Man-isle; whilst meanin is literally the middle of the island, not the middle island. Nor is there an instance where the word mean is pronounced as with an a (short), but as an u there is; as mean-oie, midnight; mun-laa, midday, or the middle of them; besides the word mon, mean, or monos is sufficiently descriptive and satisfactory, except we prefer Mannia, from Mannus, Normannia and (q. the Southern Hebrides,) Sudormannia, so this island is (without reference to its situation) called Mannia.
MANNING, MANNIN, the Island of Man. This word is compounded of mean, according to Mc. Pherson, the middle, and in, an island, because it is situated between England, Ireland, and Scotland. (W. Manaw; Lat., by Cæsar, Mona.) But perhaps this island may have been called Man by the Norwegians (who were the descendants of the Germans), in honour of their god Mannus. “Tuistonem deum terrâ editum, ad filium Mannum, originem gentis conditoresque. Manno tres filios assignant,” &c. Vid. Tacitus de mor. Ger. It is often spelt with two final nn’s, implying that it consists of several isles. As this island was called by Cæsar Mona, the word or name might imply the little, single spot; or the place of sorcery, from mon, a foretelling; and in the time of the Danes, the change of a letter favoured their superstition, and thus it was called Man, from Mannus. (W. man, little.)

TINN-VAAL, s. pr. name, Tinwald-hill, as it is usually called. It is supposed to signify a heap of earth and stones, which assumed the appearance of a hill. The word literally signifies the fire of Baal, the place of the fire or Altar of Baal. The Tinwald, or Court of the Tinwald, was anciently held in the central situation, in the parish of Kirk Braddan, called Baaltinn, for the south part of the Island, while the Tinn-vaal, for the north side, was at Knock-Urley. In Baaltinn are still the remains of an old temple, which, at the time of the introduction of Christianity, was converted into a church, and dignified by the name of Keeill Abban— i.e., the Abbot’s Church. The Tinwald is at present held at St. John’s Chapel, near Peel, upon St. John’s Day, when all new laws are promulgated in the open air, in the presence of the people, three times, before they have the force of Law. There is a striking resemblance between the Gallic Tinvaal and the Icelandic Thingvalla. All causes in Iceland are first decided at the Harad’s Thing, or County-court, from which the parties concerned may appeal to the Al-thing, or Common Court of Justice, which is kept every year, on the 8th of July, at Thing-valla. Von Trail’s Letters on Iceland. London, 1780, p. 72. See Baaltinn. The Rev. W.
